websites with character
What we do
site design
Your business is not the same as the business down the street. You're different. Your business is unique, and you want prospective customers to know that.
That's why we don't use website templates. We build custom websites that are designed specifically for you. Sites that are just as unique as you are. Sites with character.
graphics and photography
It used to be that small business websites relied on stock photos for the images that appeared on their pages,
We still use stock photos, but we're using them less and less. Today, we rely on an AI tool to create most of our images. In fact, this website contains only one stock photo -- the image on the home page. Everything else was generated by AI.
Photos, of course, haven't gone away. If you need photos of your products, or your office, or your people, you'll need a photographer. We work with one of the best in San Antonio, and we can work with yours, too.
content
Content is critical, and no matter what you might think, it's not easy.
Content tells your site visitors what you do; content makes your visitors believe you know what you're doing; and content drives your site to the top of Google's search results.
But writing good content takes skills you may not have, and it requires time you certainly do not have.
We can help out. We can write content from scratch, or we can edit content that you've written and get it ready for publication. We can do that for your original site, for an ongoing blog, or for a regular newsletter.
SEO
SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the art of making your website attractive to search engines like Google and Bing. When a user searches for something that's relevant to your business, you want to appear at the top of the search results list. If you're on page thirty, the odds are good they'll never find you. The mission of SEO is to move you up the list.
We do basic SEO -- including a technical audit -- on every site we develop. However, if you are dependent on search engines for generating leads (or if you'd like to use search engines to drive more leads), then you should continually monitor and adjust your site SEO.
We've got the tools to help you do that.
support
We don't disappear once your site is up and running. Need something added? We'll add it. Need something changed. We can change it.
We'll be there.
We offer our ongoing support with Annual Site Management plans that give you confidence that you're covered. With those plans, we make sure that your hosting subscription is current, that you've got a top-priority connection with the hosting provider, and that you've got someone to give you advice and maintain and update your site.
If you want to manage the site yourself, that's fine, too, and we'll be available to help at our standard hourly rates.
databases
We design and build all kinds of databases. Simple ones that can power dynamic website pages for products. Complex ones that can run your entire business.
The databases we set up for websites are referred to as Content Management Systems (CMS), and they make your website more efficient. They enable you to create hundreds of web pages with a single design. They enable you to edit content using a simple form, so you don't have to worry that you might accidentally break something.
